SAINTS IN HEAVEN.
v mmm
What are these in bright array ?
This innumerable throng,
Round the Altar, night and day,
Tuning their triumphant song ?
—“ Worthy is the Lamb once slain,
Blessing, honour, glory power ;
Wisdom, riches, to obtain ;
New dominion, every hour.
These through fiery trials trud :
These from great afflictions came ;
New before the throne of God,
Seal'd with his eternal name ;
Clad in raiment pure and white,
Victor-palms in every hand,
Through their great Redeemer’s might,
More than conquerors they stand.
Hunger, thirst, disease, unknown,
On immortal fruits they feed ;
Them the Lamb, amidst the throne,
Shall to living fouutains lead
Joy and gladness banish sighs,
Perfect love dispels their fears,
And forever from their eyes
God shall wipe away all tears.

DON LL'IS DE ONIS’S MEMOIR.
A Translation of the “ Memoir upon the Ne
gotiation between Spain and the United States of
America, which led to the Treaty of 1819,” has
lust beenpublished in this city [Washington] from
the pen of Dr. Watkins, in whose character and
abilities we have a satisfactory pledge of the fidel
ity and accuracy of the translation.
We have looked over this work, in the expec-
.tation of finding it full of the sophisms of diplo
macy, and very unreserved in the frankness of
the author’s views of the United States. We
have not been disappointed. It is both the one
and the other. Os the character of our people,
and their besetting foibles, he speaks with un
sparing severity, and with more freedom, we
think, than sincerity. Os our institutions, and of
our resources, he has given as flattering a view as
could be expected from a representative of mon
archy, who has nodongf-r a motive for deceptive
language, or mental reservation in respect to us :
it being perfectly evident, from the tenor of the
memoir, that Don Luis de Onis has not the least
expectation of ever revisiting the United States
in a publick capacity. Os the policy of our gov
ernment, he has furnished such a distorted view
as suited the purpose for which he wrote, which
was, by apropos suggestions to induce the cortes
of Spain to ratify the treaty of 1819, the necessa
ry assent to which had been, as was at the date
of the memoir, withheld by the King of Spain.
The Memoir commences with a history of the
Don’s diplomatick residence in the United States,
from the year 1809 to the year 1819 : and of his
•arrival here, the refusal of our government to re
ceive him, and his vigilance and faithful services
nevertheless. It then takes a view of the territo
ries of the United States ; of their population ; of
the causes of the rapid increase of population,and
of the publick and individual wealth of these
states ; of our relations with the Indians on our
borders ; of the agriculture, manufactures and
industry of the United States: of their commerce
—of their military force, which he scandalously
depreciates; of the navy : of the national reve
nue ; of our internal policy ; of our political sys
tem, and the relations of the United States with !
the different powers of the globe. The memoir j
then closes with a brief account of the negotiation ;
and of the motives which induced him to close it |
as he did, the Duk* of Alagon’s grants in Florida j
to the contrary notwithstanding. The statistical
part of the work shews that Mr. De Onis was not
idle or unobserving, during his sojourn here, tho’
many of his statements and arguments are found
ed on erroneous or defective data.
On the whole, none can read this tract of 152’
pages, without amusement, and few without in
fraction. “ It is,., (says the Translator,) a most
extraordinary production, and contains a singular
mixture of the veriest slander, and the most ex
travagant eulogy of otir country and countrymen,
that was ever heaped upon them by foe or friend.”
It remains for us to give an extract or two from
the work. The first is his portrait of the people
of the United States, not very flattering certain
ly—yet id which, mangre its frightful daubing aud
hideous colours, one can plainly discover some
odd traits of resemblance to those who sat for
the likeness : JVot. Intelligencer .
“ This people, however, do not appear
capable of raising themselves to that colos
al greatness to which they aspire,’ nor to
any solid and lasting glory. A compound
of individuals of various nations, they have
no true national character, and devoted to
commerce and speculation, interest is their
idol. They carried with them to the des
erts of North America the corruption and
thff vices of the most degenerate people in
Europe, and this corruption and these vices
tave met with no barriers in a country
where all are free, and where luxury and
insatiable thirst of gold are the predominant
passions : egotism , avarice and other sordid
passions , distinguish the character of the Amer
scans. Their manners in general resem
ble those of the English, though they are
always accompanied with a certain rustici
ty, and a provoking arrogance, that particu
larize them. The inhabitants of the Uni
ted States are descended for the most part
from English families, and although a mul
titude of individuals from other nations are
incorporated in their population, the.anglo
mania is always prevalent. The institu
tions of the country, copied chiefly from
those of England—the same laws for the
administration of justice in civil and crimi
nal cases; the same language, the same
enthusiasm for commerce, and the same
spirit of domination and pride render the
two people very similar. Tne Anglo-
American looks upon every nation with dis
dain or contempt, admiring the English on
ly, and making it a glory to draw his ori
gin fmm her. But their situation at the
head of the New World, without rivals to I
impede or restrain their march; an im-i
mense and varied surface of territory; their!
rapid and astonishing progress in popula- j
tion, the arts and industry; the brilliant se- j
ries of their prosperity ; the powerful sue- j
cess of their arms in the late war against’
Great Britain ; and the respect which they |
fancy they have inspired in the principal
powers of Europe, have raised their vani
ty to an extreme of which it is scarcely pos
sible to form an idea. They consider them
selves as superiour to the rest of mankind,
and look upon their repablick as the only
establishment upon earth, founded upon a
grand and solid basis, embellished by wis
dom, and destined one day to become the
most sublime colossus of human power, and
the wonder of the universe. It is not on
ly in the mouths of enthusiasts, or dema
gogues who seek to inflame the imaginations
of the mob with seductive and exalted ideas,
that this language is heard ; it resounds
from every side. The works of all the An
glo-American writers are strewed with
these haughty sentiments, these brilliant
predictions, suggested by an overweening
vanity. Their publick monuments attest
the excess of this pride and ostentatious
confidence. The house in which the Con
gress hold their sessions, they call the Capi
tol ; a little rivulet near it, about three
yards wide and a fourth deep, they denom
inate the Tiber. Many of the meanest set
tlements have the names of the celebrated
cities of Greece and Rome. Every tiling
breathes extreme affectation and vanity in
the United States, but the sensible man.who
examines things with impartiality and pro
found reflection, cannot but foresee the ru
in of these states, in the blind impetuosity
of thpir ambition, and the excess of their
pride. ’’
Per Contra, wc give the following as a f.iir sam
ple of those parts of the work in which reluctant
justice is done to us.
“ Their fleet is every’ day receiving aug
mentation, and is already upon a respecta
ble and brilliant footing. The Anglo-Amer
ican sailors, if they do not exceed the Eng
lish io skill or courage, like them possess
the profoundest knowledge of naval tac
ticks, and great experience in every thing
(hat can contribute to a favourable result
in naval actions. It is true that, hithet to,
they have had no actions, except of ship to
ship, and with small divisions on the lakes,
but in all they have manifested great skill
and bravery; When their navy shall be
adapted for grand battles, they will no
doubt show the same superiority, of which
the English now boast so much ; and will,
perhaps, surpass them, excited as they will
be by emulation, pride, and that fierceness
of enthusiasm which a republican spirit in
spires. Every thing i9 well organized in
their marine ; the vessels are of excellent
construction, perfectly fitted and armed ; a
rigorous discipline, due subordination, and
Ihe best order are observed in them. There
is no instance of an Anglo-American com-,
mander or officer having faltered in his du
ty, or having failed to support, even in the
most difficult extremities, the honour of his
flag.”
We conclude with the following extract, the
perusal of which made us feel unusualiy serious ;
why, we leave the reader to explain.
“ I cannot conclude my observations up
on the country and population of the Uni
ted States, without saying something of the
Indians, or aboriginals, still remaining in
them. A considerable number of the Iro
quois are yet to be met with in the state of
New York, and in the eastern part of Long
I Island; but they are all miserable wretches,
in nothing resembling their ancestors,whose
character is said to have been so bold,war
like, and ferocious. In the states of Ten
nessee and Mississippi, the nation or tribe
of Cherokees exist; in Georgia the Creeks;
in Mississippi, the Chickasaws and Choc
taws ; in the state of Indiana and Territo
ry of Michigan, a few savage hordes of the
nation or tribe of Chippeway are to be
found ; and others occupy various points to
the north-east cf Illinois and East of Lake
Michigan. They are all wretched, and
gradually becoming extinct. Their whole
number will amount at most to fifty or six
ty thousand. Those who live within the
Spanish dominions, contiguous to the Uni
ted States, comprise various tribes, some
of them sufficiently numerous ; but they
are gradually diminishing and abandoning
the country to the Americans.
“ Although the federal government boasts
of the tenderness and philanthropy with
which it treats them, it cannot but be ob
served, that whatever may be its disposi
tion to cherish sentiments so becoming to
the present age, and all free countries like
that of America, the fact is that the Indians
are daily despoiled of their lands by pur
chases, for the most part fraudulent, or by
treaties but little equitable, as well as by
force of arms. It frequently happens, that
the settlers established on the frontier or
near the lands of the Indians, make excur
sions into them, and rob them of their cat
tle, and of every thing upon which they
can lay their hands. They complain to the
governours and authorities of their respec
tive state or territory, and in many cases to
the Federal government; but justice is not
always done to them, nor any satisfaction
given. A series of these outrages at length
wearies their patience, and when they find
a fit opportunity, they take vengeance in
to their own hands, attack those who enter’
their grounds to lay them waste or drive
off their cattle, and either murder them or
pursue them beyond the frontier, commit
ting reprisals upon the American posses
sions, with the ferocity peculiar to their j
nature. When either of these events hap- 1
| pens, the cry of alarm and indignation re- j
sounds through the United States, and the
government sends an army to chastise the
Indians.
“ Such is the motive or apparent cause
of the deadly and exterminating wars which
have been hitherto waged against these
unhappy beings. The government always
i entrusts the conduct of them to impetuous
generals, who, suffering themselves to be
J carried away by a passion for war, even to
I the overwhelming in ruin these almost de
j fenceless and wretched aboriginals, pursue
‘them with fire and sword, burn their mise-
I rable cabins, and put to destruction all who
are not so fortunate as to escape to distant
forests or inaccessible mountains.
“ At the end of the campaign, a treaty
44
is entered Into with the unfortunate victims
who have survived the extermination of
their tribe, and in this the greater and bet
ter part of their lands i* adjudged to the V.
States, who are thus successively getting
rid of these neighbours, and possessing
fhemselves of the countries which they oc
cupy.”
[Whatever degree of truth there may be in the
Don’s remarks upon our conduct towards the In
dians, it certainly comes with a most “ viilanous
grace” from a countryman of Fernando Cortes
and Francis Pizfaro.—Let Spain atone for the
millions of innrders committed by her cruel and
rapacious adventurers upon the unoffending na
tives of this continent,before she presumes to taunt
the United States upon the injustice of their policy
towards the Aborigines. Such a charge, however,
can excite no surprise, when preferred by a man
who could deliberately pen and circulate abroad,
the foul and abominable contained in the
subjoined extract from the “ Memoir,” which we
fir.d in the Savannah Georgian. It can only ex
cite a smile of contempt from those whom it was
intended to vililfy.]
“ In the two Carolina?, the population
increases very little, and oue third of it, as
well as in Virginia and Maryland, is compos
ed of negroes and mulattoes, nearly all
slaves. The whites appear rather to di
minish than increase in these states; which
must be attributed to their use of strong
drink?, and (o a life of voluptuous excesses.
Despising matrimony', they commonly unite
themselves with the negresses and mulat
tresses. They are but little inclined to la
bour, presumptuous, vindictive and cruel to
their slaves. The inhabitants of the North
are more laborious, and less corrupt. Those
of Delaware, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee
& Georgia are poor; and, with the excep
tion of Delaware, they all resemble the sav
ages, or aboriginal Indians, very much in
their customs and mode of living.”
We have somewhere seen the term Ambassa
dor defined to be “ a person employed to tell lies
for the good of hia country and we presume
such is the definition given to the word in the
Don’s political vocabulary.—At any rate, nobody
will prtflend that he has not so understood the
nature of his functions, or that he has not labour
ed with more than ordinary diligence in his voca
tion. To collect such a mass of information res
pecting our country, as he is said to have done,
and to mingle with it so many impudent false
hoods, would have been an Herculean task to a
person less gifted with the necessary qualifications
for snch a work ; and we really think the Spanish
nation has made a most ungrateful return to this
worthy functionary for his remarkable devoted- i
ness to the duties of his office while in America.!
We do not owe the Don much, good will, butj
could we be permitted to advise his royal master, j
common justice would induce us urgently to re- j
commend the employment of that gentleman on >
all important missions to foreign nations, except, j
indeed, to our own country, where we presume no ,
inducements could persuade him again to set a
foot. But he might be usefully employed at
the next European Congress, as he certainly
possesses in no small degree one great pre-requisite
of an ambassador, and might successfully contend
with those giants in political subterfuge and diplo
matick cunning, Nesselrode, Metternich and Oas
tlereagh. Besides, the abuse which he has so lib
erally heaped upon the citizens and institutions of,
the American Republick, and his prophecy of her j
downfal, must be very pleasing to the monarchs ’
of Europe, whose jealousy and fear are aroused
by our rapid advance in intelligence and strength.
A PUBLICK NEWSPAPER.
“ This folio of four pages, happy work !
Which not even critipks criticise ;
What is it, but a map of busy life,
Its fluctuations, and its vast concerns ?”
Os all the publications which teem from
the press, none are so interesting, none are j
so useful as the newspaper. This book
may be interesting on a particular subject
—that book may be useful on another sub
ject—and another book may be entertain
ing on all subjects. Perhaps you prefer his
tory"—the well conducted newspaper fur
nishes a standing history of the times. Do
any wish religious instruction ? the news
paper to him who “looks through Nature
up to Nature’s God,” affords it in the posi
tive examples of the good, and in the neg
ative examples of the wicked; it tells what
the world is, doing for the good cause, and
cries aloud against the crimes which are a
reproach to the people. The newspaper
gives you the latest discoveries in Geogra
phy and Astronomy; it tells you what im
provements are making in the growth of
countries: it gives you the latest inven r
lions and improvements in Mechanicks,iti
Agriculture and domestick economy. It
furnishes an account of the proceedings of
governments; and enables a people to know
and judge of the propriety or impropriety
of measures. It is “the tyrant’s foe, the
people’s friend,” when managed with integ
rity.
When the writer of this article was not
more than ten years of age,’ living in a
country town where there is no mall and of
course where newspapers were procured
with difficulty—he recollects the avidity
with which he . laid hold of a newspaper,
i even if it were months old; that he could
be made to stop for nothing till he had ex
traded all the information it contained.
:To this curiosity he owes all the literary
taste he has ever possessed—to this curios
ity he owes the ability of penning this arti
cle—to this curiosity he owes his means of
livelihood—to this curiosity alone he owes
it that he has been able successfully to
combat in the “ war of words,” with men
who have made the study of letters the
whole business of their lives.
A well conducted paper combines so ma
ny advantages, and conveys, in a cheap 4*,
condensed form, so much useful informa
tion, that we think it a loss to a family to
be without one. When its paragraphs are
written, selected and arranged with judg
ment, it become* on excellent instrument
under the direction of a parent to induce a
love of reading in the tender mind, to en
twine the budding affections round the des
tinies of our country, and lend to a salutary
acquaintance with men and things. VVc
might go on to mention the advantages of a
paper a3 it affects the general prosperity ;
but as the publick is generally aware of
them it would be impertinent.— Monitor.
AMERICAN BONNETS.
The British Society of Arts in London have
awarded to Miss Sophia Woodhouse, of Weathers
field,Ct. a premium of 20 guineas,equal to $93 35,
together with o silver medal of the Society, for the
elegant specimen of Grass Bonnet made by her,
which was exhibited in Hartford, in Oct. last. It
is said the material of which this bonnet is made,
exceeds in fineness tbe straw of the wheat from
which tbe far-famed Leghorn lints are made, and
that it is equal in strength. It is said to have been
ascertained from actual calculations,that the sums
which have been actually paid by the different
dealers in Hartford for the purchase of Leghorn
hats Eince the commencement of the present year,
will amount to 40,000 dollars. Ch. Watchman.
PROPOSALS
For publishing a Paper in the Town of Milledgt
ville, to be entitled,
WE, THE PEOPLE.
THE Press has been truly and classically call
ed the Palladium of Liberty. In the dis
semination of useful knowledge, in the correction
of political abuses, it stands proudly pre-eminent
above evey other institution ; it is the handmaid
to the Arts and Sciences, the conservator of Ge
nius, and the pioneer to the march of Liberty and
Virtue. However corrupt a press may be, how
ever ably and skilfully conducted, it cannot long
retain an undue influence upon the minds of the
People: the glare of publick observation through
which it moves, like the unsullied mirror of Con
fucius, immediately reflects its deformity; and
exposes its venality. Someone has aptly observ
ed, that opinion is the Queen olheMcrld. She
is emphatically so in a govemmePr like ours.
The aristocratical maxim, “ the people are their
own worst enemies ,” under whatever semblance
it may appear, will still retain an impress of its
original features; and the ken of an enlightened
community will 60on penetrate the gossamer man
tle, and drag the monster to light.
WE, THE PEOPLE, will be particularly
devoted to an impartial examination of the poli
ticks of the State of Georgia. The policy of its
present administration is one which fully accords
with our feelings and principles ; and so long as
it adheres to that honest and independent course
which has invariably marked its progress, so long
will the Editors be devoted to its support. All
other subjects of State or National concern wiil
! receive that portion of attention which they mer
! it; and every exertion will be used to render the
1 paper a medium of useful intelligence.
Such are the sentiments of the Editors; and
thus feeling and thinking, will they launch their
‘little barque upon the political ocean. With
j Truth their chart, and Independence their eom
pass, they’ hope in attempting to avoid Scylla they
! will not founder on Charybdis ; but ride in tri-1
■uinph on the Sea of Principle into the Port of |
Publick Safety.
